Actions

The Actions attribute defines the action that the NetWorker server takes after an event notification occurs. The following table provides a summary of actions.

Table 1. Actions
Action Description
eventlog Windows only, logs the notification message to the event log. Priority determines whether the notification is an error, warning, or information-only message.
nsrlog Windows only, sends a message about an event to a file. Use option -f to identify a specific file. For example:

nsrlog -f log file path

If no option is specified, then messages go to the /nsr/logs/ messages file.

NOTE:The log file path must not include any space or special characters, and must not be enclosed in quotes.
logger UNIX only, uses the UNIX syslog facility (/usr/bin/logger) to log information or send messages.
lp UNIX only, prints the notification.
mail UNIX only, sends an email to the specified user.
sendmail NetWorker Virtual Appliance (NVE), sends an email to a specified user.
smtpmail Windows only, sends an email to the specified user.
nsrtrap Sends notifications to an SNMP management console. Use with the following options:
  • -c community (if not specified, then the default public is used)
  • -f file (reads message from a file and sends as snmp trap.)
  • -i version (if not specified, then the default version is SNMPV2)
  • -s specific (default is NetWorker enterprise assignment, which is 1)
  • -t trap (default trap is #6 which is the enterprise-specific trap)
  • -u snmp uptime
  • -v verbose

Third-party programs can also be used for the action, if the programs support reading from standard input.

For example:

  • On UNIX systems, you can use a third-party email program rather than the mail program.
  • On Windows systems, you can use a third-party email program rather than the smtpmail program to send the information to other locations, such as an email address or pager system.

Only users who belong to the NetWorker server Administrators list, or a member of the Application Administrators user group, can change the Action attribute of an existing notification.
